Question: | "Our bunkers are too wet. Would installing pop-up sprinklers on adjacent banks help keep the bunkers drier?" |
Source of Question: | California |
Answer/Response: | "Installing smaller-diameter pop-up sprinklers has helped some courses keep bunkers drier, but this degree of fine-tuning has its downside: 1. Be prepared to monitor, repair, and adjust hundreds more sprinklers. 2. Despite more sprinklers, there are often gaps in irrigation coverage that will require more hand watering to keep the turf alive around the bunkers. 3. The lack of moisture can often make the sand too soft and create plugged lies. The best advice is to limit the use of pop-up sprinklers and focus on sand quality, drainage, and raking programs in the bunkers." |
